Tip On Getting The Best Return On Home Improvements
The truth is that most home improvements don’t increase the value of your house as much as they cost. If you are getting ready to move and want to make home improvements that actually increase the value of your house, check out the Home Sale Calculator at HomeGain. The calculator will help you determine which areas you should concentrate on and list the top 10 home improvements that will give you the most bang for the buck according to home sales agents. Here is an example of their recommendations:
1. Clean / de-clutter - 973% Average Return on Investment: Remove clutter by storing items in basement, attic or friend’s home. Rent a storage space or sell excess items, if needed. Keep every room very clean during open homes. Do pre-open house cleanliness inspections.
2. Lighten and brighten - 865% Average Return on Investment: Replace any burnt-out bulbs and use higher wattage bulbs, if possible. Have defective electrical components repaired or replaced. Make sure skylights are clear and keep drapes open during the day.
3. Yard - 426% Average Return on Investment: Store away personal effects from front yard. Hire gardener or landscaper to trim back the overgrowth and maintain yard. Make sure that your lawn has a healthy green appearance.
